RECORD NEEDS NO INTRO.. PSYCH HOLY GRAIL!!! RARE PRIVATE PRESS PSYCH ON WHAT I'M GUESSING IS AN INSANELY RARE PROMO ISSUE.. I FOUND THIS IN A COLLECTION OF WHAT I GUESS WAS A RADIO STATION EMPLOYEE SINCE 90% OF HIS COLLECTION WERE WHITE LABEL RADIO PROMOS FROM ABOUT THE MID 60'S TO LATE 70'S... I GOT SECOND PICK OF THE  COLLECTION AND THE DEALER AHEAD OF ME FOUND SOME AMAZING STUFF LIKE WHITE LABEL PROMOS OF VELVET UNDERGOUND ETC, BUT I MANAGED TO PULL SOME NICE STUFF TOO..

I HONESTLY ALMOST PASSED ON THIS ONE MYSELF BUT I GUESS SOMEWHERE IN THE BACK OF MY BRAIN I REMEMBER HEARING THE STORY ABOUT THE LAZY SMOKE LP FROM A PSYCH LOCAL DEALER AND DECIDED IT WAS WORTH A SHOT.. (CAN'T GO WRONG FOR 3$ RIGHT???)

RECORD HAS A THICK HEAVY PLAIN PASTED CARDBOARD SLEEVE WITH A SHEET OF PAPER GLUED TO THE PASTED SIDE OF THE SLEEVE.. VINYL IS STIFF AND FAIRLY HEAVY AND LABEL HAS APPROX A 1 INCH RECESSED RING AROUND CENTER HOLE.. ALSO FOUND A NOTE INSIDE OF THE RECORD FROM AL POLLANO THE ORIGINAL PRODUCTION MANAGER OF THIS RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS BROTHER OF THE JEFF POLLANO WHO I BELIEVE WAS THE ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER/GUITARIST OF THE GROUP.

NOTE FROM AL POLLANO READS AS FOLLOWS..

ED,

HERE FINALLY IS THE ALBUM OF LAZY SMOKES' CORRIDOR OF FACES.

THE WHOLE THING WAS RECORDED IN SIX DAYS WITH ARRANGEMENTS DONE IN THE STUDIO. ALL SONGS WERE DONE (WRITTEN) BY JOHN POLLANO EXCEPT "HOW DID YOU DIE", WRITTEN BY E V COOK.

THIS WAS RECORDED AS A SPOOF ON LIVE RECORDED MUSIC WITH CHEERING CLAPPING AND OFF HARMONY TO PRODUCE THE EFECT.

I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GIVE ME. ALSO I WOULD LIKE YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION ON ALL SONGS IF POSSIBLE

MANY THANKS

AL POLLANO

PS. WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL ME COLLECT AFTER YOU HEAR THE ALBUM 1-37-31853

AFTER 12:00 NOON

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!

CORRIDOR OF FACES

by LAZY SMOKE

(Side 1)

This album is dedicated to the people who ALL THESE YEARS have lived

to ask, HOW WAS YOUR DAY LAST NIGHT? For these people

the answer does not lie in darkness, or solitude of lonliness, they COME

WITH THE DAY. For all the SALTY PEOPLE who haven't taken the time

to search among the flowers of spring instead of the cold winter for

warmth of JACKIE MARIE.

(Side 2)

UNDERSKYS is not a cough medicine as SARAH SATURDAY is not a

girl sitting on the steps of your local library, Although THERE WAS A

TIME when all the people in the village would come out to smile,

at Sara.

AM I WRONG?

PS HOW DID YOU DIE?

Arranged by - Lazy Smoke

Eng. - Pat Costa

Cover - Joe Fendenyszen

Produced by Gallery Entertainment

Production Managaers - Bob Archer, Al Pollano, Joe Fendenyszen

SEEMS THEY FASHIONED THE SONG TITLES INTO A POEM..

ORIGINALLY I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS AN ALTERNATE COVER SINCE NOWHERE (AND I MEAN NOWHERE) COULD I FIND A PIC WITH THIS COVER! ONLY PICS I'VE EVER SEEN ONLINE ARE OF THE BLACK AND WHITE PICTURE WITH BAND MEMBERS...  TURNS OUT THIS IS AN ALTERNATE COVER AND  MY INTUITION WAS ABOUT HALF RIGHT (IT'S A LONG STORY SO GRAB A SEAT..)

 A COUPLE DAYS AFTER I FIRST POSTED THIS, JIM, A MEMBER OF THE REFORMED LAZY SMOKE (THEY RELEASED A RECORD IN THE 90'S) WAS VERY HELPFUL WHEN HE CONTACTED AND SHARED SOME INFO.. HE TOLD ME THAT WHAT I HAD WAS A COPY POSSIBLY MISSING THE FRONT PIC.. THAT THEY WERE QUICKLY PRESSED, CRUDELY GLUED AND IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT IT MIGHT HAVE JUST FALLEN OFF.. THAT THE POEM ON THE FRONT OF MY COPY IS ACTUALLY THE BACK OF ORIGINAL COPIES. HE ALSO SENT PICS AND SHOWED ME HIS PERSONAL ORIGINAL COPY..

AFTER LOOKING AT HIS PIC AND A FEW OTHERS I'VE FOUND AROUND ONLINE OF ORIGINAL COPIES I NOTICE THAT THE BLACK AND WHITE ORIGINAL COVER PIC OF THE BAND IS GLUED ON THE PASTED SIDE OF THE PLAIN PASTED CARDBOARD SLEEVE (A LITTLE CONFUSING BUT BEAR WITH ME).. IMAGINE AN OLD SCHOOL PLAIN WHITE THICK "PASTED" CARDBAORD SLEEVE.. ORIGINAL COPIES OF THIS ALBUM (FROM ALL OF THE PICS I HAVE SEEN) HAVE THE BLACK AND WHITE COVER PIC GLUED ON THE PASTED SIDE OF THE PLAIN SLEEVE AND THE POEM SHEET IS GLUED ON THE BACK NON  PASTED SIDE. IF YOU LOOK CLOSE AT ORIGINALS YOU CAN SEE THE PASTED SHEET UNDERNEATH FORMING A BORDER AROUND THE BLACK AND WHIT EPIC THAT WAS GLUED ON TOP.. I HAVE PROVIDED A PIC OF AN JIMS ORIGINAL COPY AND YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF.. CHECK ONLINE (POPSIKE.COM) AND YOU'LL SEE EXAMPLES OF WHAT I MEAN ON THE PICS OF PREVIOUSLY SOLD ORIGINAL COPIES POSTED ON THE SITE..

ON THIS COPY THE POEM SHEET IS  GLUED ON THE PASTED SIDE OF THE PLAIN SLEEVE AS IF DONE PURPOSELY.. I FEEL THEY KNEW THEY WERE MAKING SOMEWHAT OF A PROMOTIONAL OR REVIEW COPY MAYBE JUST FOR FRIENDS, BUT DEFINTIELY (AS I SEE IT) TO HAND TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER (THE ED REFERRED TO IN THE LETTER) AS A RADIO REVIEW COPY.. REMEMBER 90% OF THE RECORDS I FOUND IN THIS COLLECTION WERE WHITE LABEL RADIO PROMOS FROM THE MID 60'S TO THE LATE 70'S!!! 

 I HAVE SOME INTERESTING POINTS THAT SUPPORT MY THEORY..

I AM AWARE OF THE REISSUE DONE BY JEFF POLLANO, LEAD ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER AND BROTHER OF PRODUCTION MANAGER WHO WROTE THE NOTE.. SUPPOSEDLY 500 WERE PRESSED I BELIEVE THEY ARE NUMBERED AND COME WITH A BOOKLET.  THEY ARE ISSUED WITH ON NON PASTED SLEEVES !!!!!!!!!!!! THE PICTUES ARE PRINTED ON THE SLEEVES.. NOT PRINTED ON PAPER AND GLUED ON THICK PASTED SLEEVES AS ORIGINALS ARE!!!!!!

WE CAN RULE OUT ANY THOUGHT THAT THIS IS A REISSUE!!!!

THIS IS NOT A REISSUE!!!!!!!!! I REPEAT THIS IS NOT AREISSUE!!!! THIS IS 100% FROM THE ORIGINAL 1969 PRESS.. EXACT SAME DEADWAX AS GUARANTEED 1969 ORIGINAL COPIES I HAVE FOUND ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU PUT ALL OF THE PIECES TOGETHER I THINK YOU'LL AGREE THIS IS PROBABLY SOME FORM OF PROMOTIONAL OR REVIEW SLEEVE!!!! WE ALL KNOW HOW RARE THIS LP IS I'VE HEARD STORIES OF ONLY 100 ORIGINALS EVER BEING PRESSED AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM MY FRIENDS 100% GUARANTEED!!

THE COVER DID NOT FALL OFF AS JIM SUGGESTED, THERE IS NO PEELING, GLUE RESIDUE OR GLUE STAINING TO SHOW THAT.. THERE WAS NEVER A COVER GLUED ON THIS LP!!! IF THERE WAS AN ORIGINAL FRONT COVER AND WHAT I HAD WAS ONLY THE BACK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GLUED ON THE PLAIN NON PASTED SIDE OF THE SLEEVE ... WRONG!!!!!!!!! 

ALSO THIS IS THE REAL KICKER... IF THERE WAS A COVER PIC AND IT WAS PASTED ON THE OTHER SIDE... THEN THE BACK WOULD BE GLUED ON UPSIDE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!!  

PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO I PROVIDED!!!!!!

THE POEM SHEET SEEMS PURPOSELY GLUED TO PASTED SIDE SEEMINGLY TO REPLACE THE FRONT COVER!!

1.THERE WAS NO COVER PIC!!

2. BACK COVER GLUED TO WHERE COVER PIC SHOULD BE!!

3. THIS WAS DONE INTENTIONALLY, NOT A MISTAKE

4. THIS WAS DONE PURPOSELY AS A PROMOTIONAL ISSUE OR REVIEW COPY

I KNOW IT'S CONFUSING BUT I HAVE INCLUDED A LITTLE VIDEO THAT MIGHT HELP YOU UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BETTER.. ALSO SOUND CLIPS ARE PROVIDED AND WILL PLAY AUTOMATICALLY SO YOU CAN GET A LISTEN, THEY ARE TAKEN DIRECT FROM THIS COPY..

I KNOW THIS IS ALL PRETTY DAMN LONG WINDED TO SAY THE LEAST, BUT I DO NOT WANT YOU TO PASS THIS OFF AS FLUFF... TRULY AN ARTIFACT HERE GUYS.. THE HOLY GRAIL OF HOLY GRAILS!!!! RAREST OF THE RARE!! I CAN SAY WITH UTMOST CERATINTY A COPY IN THIS FORM HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN OR OFFERED FOR SALE BEFORE. I CAN SAY WITH 100% CERTAINTY THAT THE NOTE FROM AL POLLANO IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF A KIND... SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!! 

NOT ONLY IS THIS OBSCENLY RARE BUT I'TS AWESOME LP TOP TO BOTTOM, GROUP OBVIOUSLY HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY BEATLES 60'S PSYCHEDELIC PERIOD!!

NEVER SEEN WITH THIS COVER.. NEVER SOLD WITH THIS COVER.. COVER IS NOT KNOWN TO EXIST!!!!!

HANDWRITTEN NOTE FROM ORIGINAL PRODUCTION MANAGER.. ONE OF A KIND!!!!!!!!!!!

ORINGAL PRESS.. EXACT DEADWAX AND RECESSED LABEL
